For example, inAmerican culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. Awomans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to read people from another culture as we would read someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of reading the other person incorrectly.21. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A. Love. B. Joy C. Politeness. D. Thankfulness.22. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ . A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used in the wrong places C. be used to hide true feelingsD. show personal habits23. What should we do before attempting to read people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.24. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Habits and Emotions D. Facial Expressiveness B If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day ,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.25. The first paragraph is mainly intended to _ A . attract the readers interest in the subjectB. provide some key facts about ConfuciusCshow great respect for the ancient thinkerDprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations26.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students_Ahave a great interest in studying ChineseBtake an active part in Chinese competitionsCtry to get high scores in Chinese examsDfight for a chance to learn Chinese27. What is the best title for the passage? AForgotten Wisdom in AmericaBHuge Fans of the Chinese LanguageCChinese Culture for WesternersDOld Thinker with a Big Future28. The passage is likely to appear in. Aa biographyBa history paperCa newspaperDa philosophy textbookCNo matter where you travel in Asia, youll find yourself faced with a new culture.
